Don't try to tell me why
You just can't get enough of me
So fine, so unkind
I can tell that you're using me
You just using me
You know what you do to me

You just build me up
And then you let me down
Make you feel like a man
And treat me like a clown

So strong, but you so wrong
Should've known it all along
So nice, like paradise
I got this feeling I'll be paying price
Paying price for you
I'll be paying for the rest of my life
That ain't nice

You just build me up
And then you act so cool
Make you feel like a flame
And treat me like a fool

Got me hangin'
On a string

. . .


I don't like to worry
About no one else
I like to be, you know alone and free
I'm happy by myself... Yeah
But here comes this girl... Whoa... Yeah
I've seen em all around the world
She looks into me
Looks right through me

Don't you know it hit me like a hammer
Hit me like a ton of lead
You know it hit me like a hammer
You know it hit me, baby

I told myself to take it easy
'Cause this won't last long
A day or two I'll be back in love
And she'll be long gone... Yeah
But then she caught my eye... Whoa... Yeah
I knew that it was all a lie
I started shakin'
My heart was breakin

Don't you know it hit me like a hammer
Hit me like a ton of lead
You know it hit me like a hammer
You know it hit me, baby

And now I can't stop this feelin' I got... I wanna know
'Cause there's no time to make up my mind
You shocked me, now you've got me, if you really want me

But here comes this girl... Whoa... Yeah
I've seen em all around the world
She looks into me
Looks right through me

Don't you know it hit me like a hammer
Hit me like a ton of lead
You know it hit me like a hammer
You know it hit me, baby

Shocked me, now you've got me
You know it hit me like a hammer
Hit me like a five pound sledge
You know it hit me, baby

. . .


I don't need no money
'Cause I've got attitude
Enough to show you a good time, honey
And that's what I'm about to do
You found your diamond in the rough, baby
And I'm about to tell you why

'Cause I got everything
That attitude can buy
I can get you anything
That attitude can buy

Cruisin' down the avenue
Stylin' in my new suit
Foot on the accelerator
See you later
I got everything
That attitude can buy

Cut in lines at the night clubs
all the doormen let me slide
I get the very best table by the bandstand
They play my favorite songs as soon as I arrive
Treat all the ladies like ladies
They know I'm an up-and-up guy

'Cause I got everything
That attitude can buy
I can get you anything
That attitude can buy

Rappin' to the young men
It's kinda hard to understand
Got a pair of alligators
See you later
I got everything
that attitude can buy... Horns

I got everything that attitude can buy
I can get you anything that attitude can buy
Talkin' on my car phone
Send and send till you get home
Meet me in the elevator
See you later

'Cause I got everything
That attitude can buy
I can get you anything
That attitude can buy

He took your love
But it's still mine
He took all the things that I loved best
bBt you still ain't got happiness

Gave you everything girl money can buy
He's a real big spender and a generous guy
You gave up on me, can't understand
Deep down inside girl, I'm still the man

(He don't know what to do for you) He don't know
(He don't know what to do for you) He don't know
(He don't know what to do for you) But I do
You know I do... Yeah

I passed your house today
I took it real hard
There was a brand new Mercedes
Parked right in front of your yard
He buys you things from A to Z
But no one, no one can satisfy you like me

(He don't know what to do for you) He don't know
(He don't know what to do for you) He don't know like I know
(He don't know what to do for you) But I do
You know I do

You had the world
But you wanted more
But nothin' can be better than what you had before
But you still got a chance to let him go

Gave you all of the best love
One man can give (check it out)
Girl, you're gonna feel it
Just as long as I live
Gave you all the love he could
But don't you know that
I spoiled you too good

(He don't know what to do for you) He don't know
(He don't know what to do for you) He will never know
(He don't know what to do for you) And I do
You know I do
(He don't know what to do for you) He don't know what to do
(He don't know what to do for you) For a girl like you
(He don't know what to do for you) He will never know
Never never know like I know...

I like my job and I dont mind the work
But eleven out of twelve is bound to hurt
The pay's pretty good and the benefits are fine
But I got a little girl and I wanna make her mine

Don't mind telling you i get a little mad
To get a bit ahead takes all the time I have
Don't misunderstand me
I'm not getting soft
All i want is a couple days off

Can't wait for the weekend
Ah baby just can't wait no

I dont need another high song to sing
I dont need a shiny new diamond ring
I don't need to meet nobody else
I just need a little time for myself
'cause i'm only human, i'm no machine
I need a little loving only you know what I mean
Don't misunderstand me
I'm not getting soft
All i want is a couple days off

Let me catch my breath

Thank god for the weekend

Back to the old grind

I dont need another long coffee break
I've had as much coffee as a man can take
I need to change my disposition
Change my point of view
I need time to figure out what i want to do

Believe me when i tell you it gets a little rough
We work a little harder but it never is enough

I'm not afraid to say
I'm a total loss
All i want is a couple days off

Can't wait for the weekend

Must have been out of my mind
Must have been a little bit crazy
I had heaven in my hands and didn't even know to do with it
Must have been seeing things
I can't believe the tears in my eyes
And now all I want to do is tell you what you mean to me

Never been one for crying
Don't waste time on jealousy
Never even thought about holding on till it happened to me
Yes it happened to me

That's not me
Don't look like me
Don't walk like me when you're out together
That's not me
Dont act the same way
Ain't got the same thing
He don't love you like I do

I must have been driving too hard
Doing ninety in a thirty-five zone
And now everything I do
Designed to get you back to me
You know, walking through stone
Breathing under water
Is easier than trying to shake a memory

Never been one for crying
Don't waste time on jealousy
Never even thought about holding on till it happened to me
Yes it happened to me

That's not me
Don't look like me
Don't walk like me when you're out together
That's not me
Dont act the same way
Ain't got the same thing
He don't love you like I do

. . .


We've been friends forever looking for the same thing
True love can be so hard to find
Maybe we've been looking in all the wrong places
'Cause we keep coming back here everytime
Talking to each other
Comparinng our heartaches
Confessing the ways we long to be satisfied
Maybe there's something going on here
Maybe there's something here for you and me
We should be making love
Instead of wasting time with someone else
We should be making love instead of going home all by ourselves

Oh, now I've told you I want to be your lover
Why don't we discover where we go from here
I don't want no other
Do you feel it too everything we get together?
Telling our stories
Comparinng our heartaches
Confessing the ways we long to be satisfied
Comparinng our heartaches
Confessing the ways we long to be satisfied

Telling our stories
Comparinng our heartaches
Confessing the ways we long to be satisfied
I know there's something going on here
You know it's so obvious to see
We should be making love
Instead of wasting time with someone else
We should be making love instead of going home all by ourselves

. . .


I've been trying to forget you girl
Since you put me down
I hear you're working on the same thing too
All over this town
But we end up right back in the middle
Of a love that's tried and true
Baby if we try, try just a little
You will see
How true I want to be to you

You know you always get the best of me
I'm as helpless as a man can be
Try me baby you will see
Forget about the rest
You'll alaways get the best of me

I've tried every trick I know
I drank myself dumb and blind
I've tried to Mary Lou you
Peggy Sue you
Right out of my mind
As hard as I've tried I just never get it
'Cause the feelings much too strong
Baby give my heart but tho' I can't let it slip away
I've got to get you back to where you belong

You know you always get the best of me
I'm as helpless as a man can be
Try me baby you will see
Forget about the rest
You'll alaways get the best of me

Hear me baby
We can see that
You know I love you and I know you feel the same way
C'mon back girl
You can miss ya'
I've got lovin' that'll make you know

You know you always get the best of me
I'm as helpless as a man can be
Try me baby you will see
Forget about the rest
You'll alaways get the best of me

. . .


I don't care if you go out dancin'
Freakin' like a fool
Pretending that you're on the scene
I don't care what you're wearin'
But its so tiny, baby makes me want to scream
I don't need a little time to be on my own
Don't need a crowded house with nobody home
The world's too tough to face alone

So do you love me or what?
Do you love me or what?
You're just breakin' me up
Do you love me or what?

I don't need my record collection
No house in Hollywood
To put my system in
I don't need just another possession
'Cause what I'm looking for is loyal through thick in thin
Don't need a ring, shiny thing cause that's no proof
What you feel is much more real, that's the truth
That's why I'm standin' here asking you

Do you love me or what?
Do you love me or what?
You're just breakin' me up
Do you love me or what?

. . .


Woman left for another man
Took you're car and a steely dan

There's only one thing to do

Keep on walking and don't look back
Head on down to the chicken shack
Go and act like a maniac
Keep on walking and don't look back

Had a little trouble with a guy at work
Got a great big mouth for a little jerk
Got a lot of bills one check won't pay
And a love that's real is fading away
There's only one thing to do

Keep on walking and don't look back
Head on down to the chicken shack
Go and act like a maniac
Keep on walking and don't look back

Keep on walking and don't look back
Don't you just sing the blues
Keep on walking and never look back
Put on your walking shoes
Keep on walking and don't look back, never look back
Just chalk it up to history, set yourself free

Keep on walking and don't look back
Head on down to the chicken shack
Go and act like a maniac
Keep on walking and don't look back

If money is the root of all evil
I'd like to be a bad, bad man
'Cause I'm sittin' here
With nothing but time
Trying to make you understand

My love for you is as good as gold
But I ain't got but one dime
If I could just get out of this soul
Baby we could have a good time

Man said time was on my side
He never knew me that well
'Cause I've got plenty of time on my hands
Time ain't easy to sell

If I could just get a little bit ahead
Think of the things we could do
I'd take your tiny little hand in mine
Spend a lot of money on you

But time ain't money
You know it's a shame
Time ain't money
Unfortune thang
Time ain't money
You know it's a bitch
If time was money
I'd already be rich

Suppose to be a check at the union
If only I could pick it up
I got hit with some bad family shit
It looks like I'm out of luck

I could be a very rich man
Baby you know that its true
If I had a dime for every minute of time
I spend thinking of you

But time ain't money
You know it's a shame
Time ain't money
Unfortune thang
Time ain't money
You know it's a bitch
If time was money
I'd already be rich

If money is the root of all evil
I'd like to be a bed ridden man
'Cause I'm sittin' here
With nothing but time
Trying to make you understand

My love for you is as good as gold
But I ain't got but one dime
If I could just get out of this soul
Baby we could have a good time

But time ain't money
You know it's a shame
Time ain't money
Unfortune thang
Time ain't money
You know it's a bitch
If time was money
I'd already be rich
